I Fought the Law

"I Fought the Law" is a much-covered song originally recorded by Sonny Curtis and The Crickets (post Buddy Holly) in 1959. The song was famously covered by Bobby Fuller Four, who recorded a more successful version of the song in 1965 after releasing an earlier, slightly different version on Fuller's own Exeter Record label in 1964. Another famous version was recorded by The Clash in 1979.

After convicting Roger in "The People vs. Martin Sugar", Stan sings I Fought the Law to Roger who joins in even as he realizes he is going to prison.

Lyrics
Stan: ''Breakin' rocks in the ... hot sun''

''I Fought the Law and the ... law won''

Roger: Stop Stan. You know I love that song.

And I'm not in the mood to do a whole...

Oh screw it

Together: ''I needed money, 'cause I ... had none''

''I Fought the Law and the ... law won''

''I Fought the Law and the ... law won''
